I know this has been discussed before (see archive 6), but I'm very troubled by the figure of 1,017 being included in the opeing paragraph and infobox. I believe that the "Injured" figure on this article should be 239 on the basis that it matches with the ordinary meaning of the word "injured" - i.e. physically harmed. Source: [1]
The term "Injured" should refer to people who have suffered non-fatal physical harm, as most readers would expect. The template already has a "Fatalities" parameter for deaths, indicating those who have died from severe physical injuries. Following "Deaths," the "Injured" parameter logically implies physical, not mental, harm. While the Manchester Arena bombing#Casualties section does explain that the 1,017 figure includes people with severe psychological trauma, "Injured" generally implies physical injury. For clarity and consistency across Wikipedia, this article should avoid broadening the definition of "injured" to include psychological trauma unless a new template parameter is introduced specifically for that purpose.

PTSD is very serious. I believe that this shouldn't be changed without a broad consensus agreeing with it. I see your reasoning though. Itisi5 (talk) 14:34, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
